Bayt Al Yemeni in Birmingham

Loved the food, especially lamb Mandi and lamb soup. Tasted so fresh with generous portions and good prices!

Lovely place great food lovely the cosy feeling

Great place for yemeni food. Seating arrangements are very unique. Food was tasty and plenty .

Food was nice but keep it mind that the spices are different from indian pakistani spices

An excellent place to have Mandi. Nice service with nice food. The sea bass and rice was excellent . Also the falafel and shawarma was tasty, highly recommend. V fair prices

Bayt Al Yemeni was on our list for quiet sometime for the mandi we ordered lamb mandi as ours was small portion so it may be dry, rice was also bland but it is accompanied with spicy sauce. Best was their mezze and grilled sea bass rice along with it was flavourful. Yummy Kunafa was freshly prepared. Also had the Arabic tea instead should have ordered Adani tea. Ordered Yemeni bread but looked different from picture but was nice.Service needs to be improved. Ambiance needs an uplift. Overall food is good.

Nice tasty shawarmas. Indian waitress was quite flustered and not welcoming. Would help to smile and be a little more customer friendly. Parking is non existent in this area.

Exotic food for myself - trying yemeni food for the first time and definitely not for the last time Authentic food and the decor/atmosphere to go with that

Catered our event at a really reasonable price. Lovely food, including the best falafel I have ever eaten!

Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service. Thank you for catering our event with such care. Can’t wait to try the breakfast!

Alaa aldeen was friendly and cooperative

Delicious Middle Eastern food. Freshly cooked and reliably brilliant. Have eaten here many times. Lovely friendly and helpful staff too, great with kids. They’ve got 3 nice seating areas - including some little screened off areas if you want privacy, or some low tables and chairs in the huge room out the back. I’ll be back! Ps. A reviewer below gave 2 stars and complained about them not having fresh bread. They DO, and it’s delicious, but you have to order it, it doesn’t come automatically. It’s called Ratib bread on the menu, try it!!

We had an amazing spread from here for our event i would highly recommend them for event catering. The restaurant is also a really lovely place to eat

The food here is amazing and these guys are great!

You can always rely on Bayt Al Yemeni to give the highest service and consistently fresh and high quality food for a range of occasions. I've been eating here for years. Last week they did a range of meat veg and vegan dishes for a nearby memorial and it was just right. Thank you

They catered for almost 150 people, half of whom were veggie/vegan, and the food was delicious, made with love. Thank you

The food was truly delicious with loads of veggie and vegan options. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Bayt Al Yemeni catered for a memorial service I attended recently. The food was excellent with good variety, and plenty for everyone to have a decent meal. There was a great range of vegan friendly options too. Thank you so much

Delicious food, highly recommend

Have eaten here many times and is always a quality experience. Wonderful friendly staff too.

They catered for a dear friends memorial and provided amazing food that was enjoyed by all. Usually you expect a sacrifice in flavour, quality and variety when catering for so many at such short notice, but these guys went above and beyond and provided a top tier banquet. Highly recommended, a true gem of the West Midlands.

A brilliant restaurant, we chose them to cater our friend's memorial as she loved to eat here. Zacharia was so helpful every step of the way, the price was amazing and they catered for all dietary requirements. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

Very nice YAMANI food and clean, recommend.

Food wasn't delivered after a long wait and they are showing it's delivered .This is ridiculous

Staff are nice, I loved the theming and being able to sit on the floor, it's so cool that they make it feel like you're sitting in a tent like back home in the desert. Food was good, portions were massive. Don't get the mango special drink because you could make it at home by mixing some mango puree and whole milk lol. 10/10 would recommend, it's also nice watching the buses go by every 7 minutes outside. Also W Palestine supporters, straight up the non-genocide drinks are better than the genocide ones.

The food was very authentic. The people working were very friendly. Very nice experience that highley recommended.

Nice decor with lovely Majlis settings. Food could've been better for the price.

A great beginning with lovely warm soup that heightened our expectations for our order of mandi and kebab. Sadly the mandi had mixed pieces of dry lamb cubes, the kebabs in the grill platter were a little on the tough side and the rice was not succulent as mandi rice usually is. It seems mandi with lamb shoulder has to ordered in advance. Overall, it was a rather disappointing experience, especially since it was rated so highly and touted as authentic Yemeni flavoursome cuisine. It is a beautifully appointed restaurant but definitely dated, needs some refurbishing. :)

I don’t rate the food here because that’s how awful my experience was, I got a platter for 2 for me and my mum, at first when we entered the place was quiet and I had a weird vibe. the staff were really awkward and when I was eating the food smelt and tasted off. As soon as I got home I was getting migraines and started vomiting, I didn’t stop for a week. My appetite was gone, I still cannot have chicken or any animal foods because I was put off really badly. It’s been 5 weeks and I’ve lost a lot of weight because I cannot eat properly. Just the thought of the distrust meant of what I had triggers me. I strongly do NOT recommend this place to anyone!

Second time to eat here, the food is superb, very fresh and full of flavour, the portion is big, and it's family friendly. I highly recommend it

Lovely restaurant that offers table or sit on the floor authentic experience. Generous portions.

Traditional cuisine and amazing seating

Very Authentic decor. Food was very tasty. Recommended the curry and their huge freshly baked naan.

Third time we visited, with a very large order. Food was really disappointing after the first 2 visits. Bland, mainly rice and not enough meat, gave us the wrong rice, and missed out a kebab in the mixed grill. Unlikely to return

Worth a visit, but the prices require some review

I had Yemen breakfast with tea wasn't too brilliant for my liking breakfast it self mince meat with scrambled egg in sizzling pot I have asked staff for a plate and spoon how going to eat it ? Not very good experience breakfast time no offence eating area nice and clean after from that I had better Yemen breakfast not sure what's the hype with local people about this places definitely not for me price I paid wasn't worth it Yemen bread pre packed one you can get from local supermarket no offence you get two stars only

Got taken here by a friend. The food was all new to me. However super tasty and not spicy 🔥 just flavourful. I will explore more of this cuisine on the back of this experience for sure.

unfortunately I cant leave a good review we tried to eat at this restaurant but were left waiting for almost 45 minutes while other guests came in were seated and had food on the table....we simply got up and walked out....maybe because I'm white ?? not sure but it's a shame as we were looking forward to trying the food.

Not very friendly people. Would not recommend and would never visit again

Amazing restaurant! You get so much food for the price you pay and it's absolutely delicious!!

Been many times but last 2 times naans have been burnt and hard. Other than that lovely restaurant.

Clean and friendly service , lovely breakfast, nice adeni chai with kibdha.would definitely vist again.

I travel from Liverpool to Birmingham in the Eid day for Yemeni food and I went to this restaurant I ordered salta and lamb mandi the salta was amazing but the lamb mandi it was not good the lamb is not really cooked it was very bad ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great mandi place, would recommend.

We had a fantastic Eid family meal today, thanks to Eman's impeccable service. Her attentiveness and friendliness made our experience truly enjoyable.

We visited today for our Eid family meal, and EMAN was incredibly helpful. Her service was impeccable, a true testament to her commitment to guest satisfaction. EMAN was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, always ready to accommodate special requests during a busy day. Her professionalism and dedication to her role significantly contribute to the restaurant's high standards. Keep up the great work💯

So far the best Arabic cuisine I have tried in Birmingham. We ordered the combo for 2 and a lamb zurbiyan for 5 people. Very very tasty and flavourful. They serve mayonnaise and chilli chutney with the dishes and both tasted really good. As a person from Kerala where you get not so authentic but very spicy and flavourful Mandi, the food was very relatable and reminded me of home ! The staff behavior was also very good. Must visit and will come back for sure.

I had platter takeaway today and it was so nice and freshly made. The place looked clean and the the lady that taken my order was polite and was packaged well.

Not the same chicken seasoning as last time

Lovely atmosphere. Great customer service, the workers were really attentive. The food is 10/10 definitely recommend.

Arguably the best place for lamb shank and a Yemeni breakfast that is authentic which you can't really get anywhere else. Absolutely tasty and succulent. All the meats there are so succulent. Love it.

placed an order ,received confirmation, waited over 45 minutes, checked the app order delivered while I received nothing called the restaurant they told me they don't use just eat while I was charged for a food that I didn't receive.what a joke

Nice taste according to the Middle East. But for pakistani and indian people its not much spicy

Ordered the lamb mandi and 4 people dish. Was delicious very tender meat huge portions. Nice clean sitting area for families. Everyone loved it

Delicious and authentic cuisine!!!!

Food is not fresh. Lamb and chicken and rice are not good we got a platter for 5 person and the shawerma too bad . Too expensive

The food wasn’t fresh, old and just reheated even though they took a really long time to bring it. The meat had a fishy smell. Tbh it was very disappointing and absolutely no worth of money at all. And as you can see I’m talking about my experience the was not good yesterday. I’m not asking for your good reviews. Are you going to deny MY EXPERIENCE just because you have some good ones? That’s funny.

Ordered one of their platter, every thing was perfect. Qunatity Price Taste Service 5 stars for every thing. We also orderd one of their bread it was great too. Will visit again.

UPDATE: I. REVISITED THIS PLACE ON 29.11.24 AS MY BROTHER ENJOYS THE FOOD BUT ITS STILL SO COLD IN THE BACK TENT LOOKING THING. WRAP UP WARM. Clean with a touch of Bedouin tent vibes! The starter soup was decent, kinda tasted like an Indian curry 🤣pretty sure it was complimentary. Well prepared food, cold mezze and sharing platter for 4 is huge! All the food is nice, no complaints. Easily feeds 6 tbh 🤣 service is good although the heater wasn't working which was a shame as it was a little cold in the rear seating area. Arabic tea is great, so fragrant.

Traveled all the way from London for this. delicious food, generous portion sizes. lovely staff as well 10/10

Authentic Yemeni Food, same taste, same aroma, you feel you are in Yemen exactly, with the diversity of 4 parts of Yemen Cuisine; Sana’a city with Salatah and Fahsah, Hadramout part with Mindi, Aden part with Zurbian rice with lamb, and Seabass Mova, Taiz part of Rashowsh, Maasob and Sahawiq Jobn. The Yemeni restaurant is distinguished by its authentic taste Where you feel the atmosphere of Yemen and the real Yemeni food, it combines the diversity of Yemeni food; Hadrami with Mandi meat, Adani with fish sanona and tannour fish, as well as Ta’azi cuisine with rashush, fattah and aqadat, as well as the Sana’ani restaurant with fasha and basket. Yemeni creativity in food is represented by the Yemeni House - Birmingham - United Kingdom, I thank those in charge of this distinguished restaurant and wish them success and continued excellence

One of the most horrendous times I have had with bayt al yemen. The service was diabolical with no customer service, staff were very unprofessional and staff did not have a clue what they were doing. Overworkered and understaffed with no sense of customers. The food ordering service was non-existent and got all oder wrong with food missing on order and drinks. The food was overcooked and complained to staff and said its 'okay' Hygiene is a big issue uniforms unclean and staff on their phones and not attentive at all, it's like talking to a brick wall. Ah the so called manager didn't know what day it was, called many times to our table and didn't attend to our issues. Then blamed us that we didn't order properly when staff didn't write the order. Aviod at all costs, I would save your money and go somewhere else. Overall rating -5 the worst place I have ever ordered and eat food from. Won't be going back there again!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Delish as usual. Absolutely love their food. Jzk

Lovely food and reasonably priced

A lovely vibrant Yemini food restaurant to visit. All the food is freshly made, salad, hummus, drinks are very fresh. They have that authentic Arab style sitting on the floor system which make you experience that wonderful Yemini tradition. Had the iftar buffet which was £18. Very reasonably priced and plenty of Yemini food options available to eat. Plenty of seating upstairs aswell. Parking maybe an issue due to it being on a busy road. I just parked in Lidl and walked down. It's free for an hour and half.

Went here for a iftar buffet selection was small no lamb in selection only chicken food was not fresh most likely from day before got food poisoning won't be coming back

Had a great Iftar here with 57 family members. Food and service was spot on Alhumdulillah. Definitely recommended..👍👍👍

I tried this restaurant twice, and I realised most of the staff does not qualify to serve the Guest. Most of the staff is not wearing clean uniforms. Even he didn’t clean his hand. Make the order and order that will be after half an hour every time you remind him, I’ve been ordered, and nobody cares, care about the Guest. The food is very unhealthy, even inside the salad. You

Delicious food. Iftar amazing. Great atmosphere

Very very nice food and never eat same food in the world and staff is very friendly

Family oreintated restaurant, with various dining options. They have private floor seating cubicles, in addition to standard table & chairs.ideal for families . We ordered The platter for two( approx £25) which was easily sufficient for 2 adults & 2 young children. Served by pleasnt and helpful young man called Abdur Rahman. Food did take a while to come but overall a very good experience.

Ordered a mix player for £16. Arrived mid way realised it was missing the shawarma. Asked staff he said he will get it, returns to say sorry we ran out. Though they took the order and didn’t tell us this when placing the order. Offered that he will knock the price down. When go pay the bill and he offered a £2 discount for the missing shawarma. Absolutely disappointed in the meal itself and then the service just made the experience worst. Bebe to return.

Very clean place Best service Service Starts with soup Very specie Lamb is well cooked But I don't think rice will not sufficient for asain people, quantity of rice is small But the lamb is very nice

Private seating, delicious hot fresh food. Ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. A lil greasy but good. Friendly service. Tea at the end was nice.

I have seen this place loads of times and always thought I should go in. Thank god I did, the staff were so friendly and nice and they went through the menu with their recommendations as per our preferred tastes. The lamb shank was amazing and the chicken kebabs the same, an absolute must visit

Good is delicious and hot as expected

One of my favourite spot to visit. The sea bass is the go to dish, second choice would be the lamb

Very good food and service. Tea was a little bit overpriced.

As an Arabic restaurant in Birmingham it's to my expectations. Loved the food

Had saltah for lunch and it was so good we came back for dinner. Had lamb mandi which was delicious but portions are huge.

I don't know where to start. Food was out of this world. Lamb Fahsa was absolutely delicious. Lamb shoulder was super tender and packed with flavour. They have table seating or traditional floor seating with privacy covering. Pricing are reasonable. Great and friendly service from the staff. They also have great clean bathroom facilities. Best Yemeni food in the UK and now my favourite place to eat in the UK! A must go to!

Brilliant range of food - the fish is always a hit! Staff are very attentive and polite and the portions are generous. If you're looking for a more authentic experience, there is floor seating too! Leave extra time to allow for parking as the area is usually very busy.

You must try their breakfast menu, fresh bread and Yamani tea. One of those places that you have to try before you die! Excellent

Food was cold , terrivle portion size half the platter was salad , terrible customer service , absolutely disgrace ful. The half chicken was small and burnt, what a waste of time and energy , never coming back, the owner should be ashamed of himself

5 starts don’t justify anything I experienced in this restaurant. Food, service and hygiene is all top of the range! MashaAllah Well done guys I’ll be back for sure and would advise everyone to experience this restaurant. Lamb shank with mandi rice i had x

Nice food, personally I like very tasty

Our first time trying Yemeni food; the absolute best ever!! Amazing service, super friendly staff and the best food we ate all year. Staff are all beyond friendly and amazing. Truly a 5-star experience! Will certainly be back for the most delicious food ever!!

Ordered Quarter lamb mandi for family. It was delicious, the meat was well cooked, rice were tasty, the res tomato chilli sauce went soo well with Mandi. Perfect for party and small gatherings. I will be ordering again.

Це був неймовірно чудовий гастрономічний досвід. Їжа, дуже смачна. Ми замовляли різні види м'яса з рисом - це було дуже смачно. Рекомендую 😇

Eat here! Authentic Yemeni experience. Lovely people, lovely restaurant, and the food is so, so good. The bread! To die for. The saltah. The fish. The rice. Meat options, fish options, veggie options. Can't fault anything. Bonus points as they don't sell Coca Cola nor Pepsi brands here.

Would highly recommend. Amazing food!

I have used this restaurant many times. The Food is so tasty, service best in Birmingham and very flamboyant atmosphere. Honestly, you need to try this place out!!!

Very nice place serving good food and coffee and good service as well.

Very good service by staff Lamb mandi really nice and tasty Highly recommend

New experience with this restaurant 😄, it was a big tent was divided into rooms inside, we chose floor sitting . we had to take our shose off before get into the room., we liked Marshoosh bread the most 😋 and fatoush was good. We asked at the end for black tea with paper mints but we didn’t like it.

It’s a good place to eat, I was not used to the food, but it was okay, I should have made more research in the type of food they offered so I would have picked something better than I did. Overall I think it’s a sensible place.

Two years before I visit but still remember

Ordered platter for 4”3 and out no lamb on it at all just filled with lots of potato really annoyed

Yes the food tastes really nice and spicy normally I avoid Arab places because they are bland but I really like the food here it has lots of flavour. I've been here 3 times now. Lots of private seating area for families and nice friendly environment. Pro Palestine 🇵🇸 place so no coca cola or pepsi 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾 Well done ✅

Good, fresh, plentiful mixed mezze.
